Eternal Night

Chapter 576 Suppression!

The Dragon Elephant Town Prison Scripture is Wu Pifu's greatest current gain.

Although the Buddhist sutras are mysterious and extremely valuable, he only obtained one of the twelve sutras this time. The title he received was also a gift from that mysterious Buddhist master. This provided him with almost no immediate improvement, but only a glimmer of hope for the future. However, whether he could overcome this tribulation was still uncertain. Therefore, it was not as beneficial to him as the Dragon Elephant Prison Suppression Scripture.

Judging from the main brain's assessment and description of this extraordinary martial arts manual, it is actually a "supreme" level martial arts manual that combines the martial arts of human immortals, the martial arts of the star river, and the martial arts of immortals. Such a description has never been seen before, and it is very obvious that it is an extremely powerful extraordinary martial arts manual.

Wu Pifu now roughly understands the relationship between the Zhenwu lineage, the Xinghe lineage, and the Xianwu lineage. Leaving aside the Xianwu lineage, the Zhenwu and Xinghe lineages originate from the same source but are completely different. They can complement each other, but they are also sworn enemies and there is no chance for them to help or complement each other. It is already a great restraint that they have not fought to the death.

Therefore, this "Dragon Elephant Suppressing Prison Scripture" should not theoretically exist.

However, Wu Pifu also knew that only novels needed logic; reality didn't follow logic at all. The Zhenwu lineage, the Xinghe lineage, and the mysteriously appearing Xianwu—who knew how many grudges and love affairs, how many heroic epics were intertwined within them? That spanned millions of years. It wouldn't be surprising at all if mysterious figures, chosen ones of heaven, or unparalleled geniuses appeared along the way. Who knows, there might be a tremendous opportunity that would unite these three elements, thereby establishing unimaginable great achievements.

Wu Pifu didn't dwell on this; he simply began to carefully sense the extraordinary technique of the Dragon Elephant Suppressing Prison Scripture that he had just learned.

Although he had only just begun practicing, his accumulated knowledge was incredibly profound. Whether it was traditional Chinese martial arts, the physical body cultivation of the Immortal Martial Arts, the sleepless spiritual light brought by the Tiger Demon Art, or the Ascending Heaven Meditation Method that he had never even considered resonating with the Dragon Elephant Suppressing Prison Art, this series of extraordinary techniques actually resonated and interacted with him during the practice of the Dragon Elephant Suppressing Prison Art!
Traditional Chinese martial arts form its bones, while the martial arts of immortals form its flesh and skin. The insomnia-free spiritual light transforms into its brain and spirit, and upon ascending to the Heavenly Court, it condenses and becomes its soul.

Within Wu Pifu's sea of ​​consciousness, a dragon and an elephant intertwined, their elephant feet and dragon tails penetrating deep into the negative realm of his sea of ​​consciousness. Their dragon and elephant bodies filled the entire sea of ​​consciousness, while their dragon and elephant heads protruded from it, merging with his physical body.

This technique is actually both a physical cultivation method and a mental meditation method, and it seems to vaguely involve the soul as well?
With his own profound accumulation, Wu Pifu has now reached a high level of proficiency in the Dragon Elephant Prison Suppression Scripture. His physical body, mental consciousness, and soul seem to be connected by this technique.

"...I see, I see."

Wu Pifu stood there in a daze for a long time, carefully sensing the martial arts mechanism of the Dragon Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique. After a while, he muttered to himself as if he had just woken up from a dream.

Huang Rong, watching from the side, was puzzled. She asked curiously, "Brother Ant, is this Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill really that miraculous? It's actually very useful to you? Then why has this skill never been known to the world? Logically speaking, it should be far more famous than the Nine Yin Manual, right?"

Wu Pifu shook his head and said, "No, the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill is just an ordinary immortal martial art that was supplemented by later generations. Cultivation depends entirely on enduring hardship. It is impossible for a mortal to cultivate it to its full potential in terms of lifespan, because it is just a supplement to an incomplete skill. Its original name was the Dragon Elephant Prison Suppression Scripture, which was a supreme martial art. However, I only obtained three percent of the fragment. It is extremely difficult to collect the whole thing..."

Huang Rong clicked her tongue in amazement.

It's only a 3% fragment? If it can evolve into a fairly powerful martial art, then how earth-shattering must the original story have been?

Wu Pifu continued, "The Dragon Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique is a combination of the martial arts of the Human Immortal, the martial arts of the Star River, and the martial arts of the Immortal. It permeates the three aspects of the human body: the physical body, the spirit, and the soul. Because I only obtained three percent of the fragment of this technique, although I can practice it after being instilled by the main brain, it only involves the physical body and the spirit. There are no further methods for accumulating skills or combat techniques, let alone cultivation methods."

Huang Rong frowned and said, "Then isn't this useless?"

"No!"

Wu Pifu laughed and said, "It's useful, very useful to me!"

As he spoke, several orbs of light floated out from between Wu Pifu's eyebrows. He said, "This is the sleepless spiritual light I obtained through the Tiger Demon Technique of the National Martial Arts. It exists in my sea of ​​consciousness and serves as the core for its stability. It can also dispel evil and demons, which is of great help to me. At the same time, the ultimate secret of the Tiger Demon Technique is the only way I can suppress the negative aspects of my sea of ​​consciousness. And now I also know that the National Martial Arts is actually the prerequisite technique for the Star River Martial Arts."

"Then, because my Human Immortal Martial Arts only has life cultivation and not spiritual cultivation, it is incomplete. Therefore, it can only affect the physical body and cannot nourish the spirit and consciousness." "Finally, there is the Immortal Martial Internal Cultivation. This internal cultivation has a qualitative improvement on my Human Immortal Martial Arts, forming a multiplicative effect. However, its essence is still the enhancement of the physical body by internal force, which is a separate item."

"But now that I have the Dragon Elephant Suppressing Prison Scripture, I can merge my physical body, internal energy, and spiritual consciousness into one! Rong'er, look."

As Wu Pifu spoke, his blood and qi erupted simultaneously, and he also channeled his internal energy throughout his body. However, the terrifying power that should have been so vast as to shake the heavens and earth did not erupt. Instead, Wu Pifu's sleepless spiritual light wriggled, dissolved, and merged into one. The next second, dragons and elephants rose from the land, and the world changed color!
Huang Rong's eyes widened as she saw a divine dragon and a divine elephant intertwined and emerge from Wu Pifu's sea of ​​consciousness. The dragon spun nine times, its head visible but its tail not. The elephant was majestic and vast, its four legs like pillars supporting the sky. Its entire body was suspended in the clouds above, with only the four giant pillars standing down. For a moment, the entire world could only see the shadows of the dragon and the elephant, as if this world was filled with them, and no other sight could be seen.

This is not just what Huang Rong saw, but a magnificent sight that can be seen by people throughout the Western Regions, the Central Plains, and even most of the world!
After Wu Pifu used the Dragon-Elephant Prison Suppression Scripture, his qi, blood, and internal energy were all transformed into the true form of the dragon and elephant within his sea of ​​consciousness. He himself showed no unusual signs, but the true form of the dragon and elephant that emerged from his sea of ​​consciousness was as large as a star. As soon as it took flight, it immediately suppressed all evil spirits. Everyone who saw the true form of the dragon and elephant seemed to have their mental consciousness completely suppressed. Apart from staring directly at the true form of the dragon and elephant, they could not think of anything else.

Suddenly, the true forms of the dragon and elephant roared simultaneously, their cries echoing throughout the heavens and earth...

Huang Rong suddenly came to her senses. Where were the dragons and elephants in the world? Everything just now seemed to have turned into a phantom, but her heart inexplicably calmed down.

The anxiety she felt before Wu Pifu's departure, the fear and unease about his uncertain fate, and the desolate self-pity over the one-year promise all seemed to vanish at this moment. Although her resolve remained firm, those negative influences were gone.

"Brother Ant, what is this?" Huang Rong asked in surprise.

Wu Pifu nodded and said, "It is indeed the Dragon Elephant Prison Suppression Scripture!"

"This cultivation method involves the physical body, spirit, and soul. I am now certain that the Immortal Martial Arts must have originated from the Heavenly Court. My Ascending Heaven Meditation Method even resonated with the Dragon Elephant Suppressing Prison Scripture. Just now, I witnessed the effect of the Dragon Elephant Suppressing Prison Scripture. Because I only have three percent of the fragment, I cannot unleash many of its powers. However, I can guess that this cultivation method combines the three elements. A strong physical body can nourish the spirit and consciousness, while suppressing and absorbing the negative aspects of the sea of ​​consciousness as resources, slowly nourishing and strengthening the soul. At the same time, the nourished and strengthened soul can in turn nourish the spirit and consciousness, making the spirit and consciousness even stronger, and able to suppress and absorb more negative aspects. Then, the spirit and consciousness continue to nourish the physical body, making the physical body continuously accumulate and become stronger, just like consuming top-grade heavenly treasures."

"This set of techniques is precisely the cycle of these three elements, which ultimately accumulate and strengthen simultaneously to reach a qualitative change, transforming the negative aspects of the sea of ​​consciousness into eighteen levels of hell, while the practitioner transforms into a dragon and elephant to suppress everything. It is truly powerful. If one cultivates to the point of mastering the mechanism, one can even suppress the entire universe at the same time!"

Wu Pifu sighed with excitement. He shook his head and said, "But as I said before, it's a pity that I only have three percent of the fragment. At present, I can only transform the physical body's blood and qi into spiritual consciousness, manifesting the true form of the dragon and elephant in my sea of ​​consciousness to suppress the negative aspects of my sea of ​​consciousness. If it manifests, it can also suppress the negative and evil spirits of the surrounding material world. Rong'er, you can feel it too, right? There are many less negative aspects in your heart."

Huang Rong could sense it. She was now at peace, filled only with the joy of being with Wu Pifu. Although she was still confused about the future, she was determined to face it, without any more fear or anxiety.

Huang Rong stuck out her tongue at Wu Pifu and chuckled, "Brother Pifu's dragon and elephant true form has just manifested all over the Western Regions, which is a boon for those lamas and monks."

In the Vajra Temple, many lamas sat cross-legged. They had just benefited from the manifestation of the dragon and elephant, and their hearts were filled with peace and tranquility. Buddhist sentiment permeated their hearts, and all the Buddhist principles that they had not understood in the past were easily resolved. For a moment, they all smiled and showed great joy.

Upon hearing this, Wu Pifu simply laughed and said, "Although I was connected with the First Buddha and the Buddha Master, the Vajra Temple was also connected with me. However, since they initially asked me for personnel, this connection was reduced by 70%. Now that the dragon and elephant have manifested, my good relationship with them is over."

Huang Rong didn't understand, and Wu Pifu didn't explain either. He simply said, "With this Dragon Elephant Prison Suppression Scripture, I have much more confidence in the upcoming battle. I had an idea before, and now I can put it into practice... Unfortunately, it's only three percent complete. Right now, it can only nourish the spirit and consciousness with the physical body, and it can't yet nourish the soul. The three should mutually support and strengthen each other. Otherwise, this battle would be very different..."

Without waiting for Huang Rong to ask, Wu Pifu supported Huang Rong's waist and leaped into the air, saying at the same time, "Next, I will accompany Rong'er to travel around and wait for Master and Uncle Qi."

"One month... then we'll see if I, in my strongest form right now, can carve out a way to survive!"
